As I keep telling you. Nearly always, the "Popular Front" takes power and the communists kill or imprison all their allies. In 1979 in Iran, the Islamists killed the communists first. The DSA should take note.

"Look at these two girls. Smiling. Celebrating. Overjoyed. They weren’t just random teenagers.

"They were part of the secular Marxist left in Iran: the ones who believed they were using the Islamists as useful idiots to topple the Shah and install their socialist paradise.

"They marched with the jihadis. They cheered for Khomeini. They thought the mullahs would be temporary tools on the road to Marxist utopia.

"Then the Islamic Revolution ate them alive.

"Within a short time, around 40,000 political prisoners were executed. Among them: thousands of the same communists and leftists who had just helped bring the ayatollahs to power.

"One of the girls in this photo, Maryam Rafie, was hanged by Khomeini’s regime in 1989. The other, Sahar Mohammadi, was forced into exile in Sweden.

"They thought they were riding the Islamists to power. The Islamists used them, discarded them, and killed as many of them as it could.

"This is not a tragedy. This is not a “historical mistake.” This is the iron law every time the secular left joins forces with jihad: the left ends up as corpses or refugees. The Muslim terrorists stay in power.

"Anyone who still hasn’t learned this lesson from Iran 1979 is currently repeating it in the West." Quotation paragraphs posted by Liza Rosen

A letter to Palestinians: Enough is enough

For 78 years, since 1948, the Arab world (and those in it) has been told to bleed, fight, pay, and sacrifice for Palestine.

Enough.

You rejected the existence of a Jewish state and expected generations of Arabs and non Arabs to inherit that war. Their soldiers died. Their economies paid. Their governments poured billions into “the cause ”. And after every defeat, the answer was the same: more war, more money, more martyrs, more excuses.

You turned terrorism into “resistance.” Jews were murdered on buses, in cafés, and in their streets. Planes were hijacked. Athletes were murdered at the Munich Olympics. Suicide bombers were celebrated while children were raised to hate and believe that dying was preferable to compromise.

You demanded money from the Arab world and the West while you own corrupt leaders enriched themselves. The world paid for schools, hospitals, refugee agencies, food, and infrastructure, while your people stole money to build rockets, weapons, tunnels, and suicide belts.

And wherever Palestinian terrorists went, others paid the price.

Jordan nearly lost control of its own country during Black September. Lebanon was dragged into a civil war because of Palestinian groups.

Yet responsibility is always someone else’s.

Israel. America. Britain. Europe. The Arabs. The UN. The West.

Anyone except your own leaders and your own political choices.

Even today, the keffiyeh and Palestine are exported slogans and symbols across Western streets and campuses alongside the same message: we are victims, therefore everyone else owes us.

No. We don’t owe you a thing.

Our children do not owe you their blood nor their future.

Our countries do not owe your factions their stability.

Western taxpayers do not owe corrupt Palestinian leaders an unlimited stream of money.

And nobody should be expected to finance another tunnel, rocket, or generation taught that killing Jews is a holy duty.

You want a future? Then build one.

Stop worshipping the past. Stop glorifying terrorism. Stop enriching corrupt leaders. Stop teaching generation after generation that destroying Israel is more important than building your own state. Accept that Jews are not disappearing and that another century of war will not change that reality.

Seventy-eight years is enough.

Face your failures. Take responsibility for your choices. Build something instead of destroying everything around you.

And stop demanding that the rest of the world pay the bill.

Leave us alone.

Here's another view of the child soldier Hamza Al-Kurd.

[Aizenberg @Aizenberg55]

PIJ openly admitted to additional child combatants today. Based on a large excess number of teen male deaths versus females, it's highly likely there were 1,500-2,000 child soldiers killed in Gaza. https://t.co/ZjSvFp84Kp

[Aizenberg @Aizenberg55]

Many CHILD COMBATANTS are being outed in Gaza, as young as 12. Did the IDF kill innocent child Hamza Al-Kurd at the Al-Barak Petroleum station in Deir Al-Balah on July 12, 2025? No. It was a child soldier that was part of an armed cell. SILENCE from the "human rights" NGOs. 1/

🚨 Gazans who now live in Antwerp, Belgium spoke with Israeli news N12.

One said Gaza should be ruled by Israel, not the PA or Hamas and that civilians uninvolved in terrorism should be allowed to cross to safety while Israel finishes off Hamas.

Another claimed that the Hamas commander who once interrogated him now lives comfortably in Belgium, holds Belgian citizenship, and continues raising money for Hamas from Europe.

[Mosab Hassan Yousef @MosabHasanYOSEF]

To Those Who Compare Gaza to the Holocaust

After years of suffering, starvation and disease in the ghettos, the Nazis offered desperate Jews a way out.

They promised them jobs and a better future. They told them they were being relocated to labor camps where they could support their families.

Believing they had finally found hope, the Jews boarded the trains. Those trains took them to extermination camps.

Upon arrival, they were told they would first take a “disinfection shower” before entering the work camp. The gas chambers were disguised as shower rooms.

Many only realized they had been deceived when the gas started flowing.

That was systematic, industrialized murder built on the intent to exterminate an entire people.

In Gaza, when Israel wants to target Hamas infrastructure, it evacuates entire neighborhoods in advance, even though this gives Hamas time to escape.

Israel does this specifically to minimize civilian casualties.

These two realities are fundamentally different.

Comparing them dishonors the memory of the victims of the Holocaust.

When Muslims blow themselves up at concerts, it's not their fault. In fact, when you think about it, it's probably the Jews' fault.

When Muslims go on stabbing sprees, it's not their fault. In fact, when you think about it, it's probably the Jews' fault.

When Muslims drive their cars into Christmas markets, it's not their fault. In fact, when you think about it, it's probably the Jews' fault.

When Muslims crash airplanes into buildings, it's not their fault. In fact, when you think about it, it's probably the Jews' fault.

When Muslims invade a country, murdering, torturing, raping, and kidnapping thousands of its people, it's not their fault. In fact, when you think about it, it's probably the Jews' fault.

When Muslims slaughter Christians all over Africa and the Middle East, it's not their fault. In fact, when you think about it, it's probably the Jews' fault.

Even when Muslims lose soccer matches, it's not their fault. In fact, when you think about it, it's probably the Jews' fault.

Nothing Muslims do is ever their fault. They're always the aggressors, but it's always someone else's fault.

Just to let y’all know! I don’t support the WAR between ISRAEL & PALESTINE! I advocate for PEACE.

But, this video right here speaks volume! Everything they told us about how the Jews behave hostile toward CHRISTIANS in ISRAEL is a LIE.

[Av Michal אביגיל מיכל @avygal]

Did you know that you were lied to about the Crusades?

We were taught in school that the Crusades were Christian expansionism and a campaign to forcibly convert Jews and Muslims.

In reality, the crusades were largely a reaction to Islamic expansionism and colonization.

Muslim forces conquered roughly two-thirds of the former Christian Roman/Byzantine world in the Mediterranean basin.

Many of these were formerly Christian-majority regions (the Levant, North Africa).

Jerusalem, had been under Muslim rule since 638, and Jews and Christians in the Holy Land lacked rights and were treated as dhimmi.

By the 11th century, a new wave intensified the pressure: Seljuk Turks (recent converts to Islam) defeated the Byzantines decisively at Manzikert (1071), overran much of Anatolia (Asia Minor), and disrupted pilgrimage routes to Jerusalem.

Reports reached the West of harassment of pilgrims, destruction of churches, and threats to Constantinople itself.

The Trigger for the First Crusade happened March 1095, at the Council of Piacenza, Byzantine Emperor Alexios I Komnenos appealed to Pope Urban II for military aid against the Seljuks.

Urban built on this at the Council of Clermont later that year, calling for knights to aid Eastern Christians, liberate Jerusalem and the Holy Land, and defend Christendom.

Urban’s speech (as recorded by contemporaries like Fulcher of Chartres) emphasized Muslim invasions, devastation of Christian lands, and the need to reclaim sacred sites.

The response was massive, leading to the First Crusade (1096–1099), which captured Jerusalem.

Crusader goals focused more on control of territory and holy sites than mass conversion (though religious warfare rhetoric existed on both sides).

Modern narratives sometimes portray the Crusades as unprovoked Western aggression or the root of East-West tensions.

The Crusades (especially the early ones to the Levant) were a reactive holy war to reclaim lost Christian territories and stem further advances, following centuries of Islamic conquests that had dramatically shrunk the Christian world.

They fit a pattern of mutual religious warfare common in the era, but the initiating expansion came from the Islamic side.

While there were atrocities committed by crusaders and it was not a movement without deep faults, the reason behind the crusades was to reclaim the holy land and holy sites that had been taken over by Muslim caliphates and worship of Christians and Jews at our own holy sites were restricted.

The West Bank isn’t “occupied Palestinian land.” It’s the ancient Jewish heartland of Judea and Samaria, and it was stolen by Jordan in 1948, ethnically cleansed of Jews, and now rightfully back in Jewish hands after a defensive war.

Here are the facts the mainstream narrative ignores and deliberately hides.

Bookmark and share. The next time you see anyone telling you about “occupation”, “stolen land”, “ethnic cleansing”, “settlers” or international law, remind them of this truth.

@AP portrays Hamas' announcement that it's dissolving its Gaza government as a potentially positive step.

But the story omits key context that makes the announcement far less meaningful. 🧵

[HonestReporting @HonestReporting]

Sorry, what?

The Columbia Journalism Review has the audacity to defend those who work for Al-Aqsa TV, a Hamas-affiliated outlet that's sanctioned as a terrorist entity, as legitimate journalists but refers to HonestReporting as a "bad-faith organization?"

It's a sad day when one of the leading journalism schools chooses to side with the terrorists manipulating the journalistic profession over those trying to ensure that journalists maintain their professional standards.

• Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya is a Hamas colonel
